.
• A deflection is only referred to as a wave if it passes the baseline.
.
• If the first wave is negative then it is referred to as Q-wave. If the first wave is not negative, then the QRS complex does not possess a Q-wave, regardless of the appearance of the QRS complex.
.
• All positive waves are referred to as R waves. The first positive wave is simply an "R-wave" (R). The second positive wave is called "R-prime wave" (R'). If a third positive wave occurs (rare) it is referred to as "R-bis wave" (R").
.
•Any negative wave occurring after a positive wave is an S-wave. Large waves are referred to by their capital letters (Q, R, S), and small waves are referred to by their lower-case letters (q, r,s).
